🖖 Discovery S03E03: The ship travels to a planet only to find itself caught between two warring factions, and they must try to convince both sides to stand down and find a resolution. This may be one of the most “Star Trek”-y Discovery episodes yet, and it pulled it off. Plus lots of good character beats and more clues about the state of the galaxy in this new time period. So far, season three is on a good streak.
